Live Metrics

The Live Metrics screen gives you a real-time dashboard of your sailing performance while you're on the water. It combines GPS, compass, and accelerometer data into a single view and can announce metric values aloud so you can focus on sailing without looking at your phone.

  • Speed Over Ground (SOG) and Velocity Made Good (VMG)
  • Course Over Ground (COG) and compass heading
  • Heel angle from the device accelerometer
  • Audio announcements for hands-free use
